    Hi,

    I hope you're doing well.

    I wanted to reach out regarding the Special Issue on AI in Healthcare. I have been working on a research idea that I believe may align with the scope of the special issue, and I wanted to check whether it would be a suitable fit before preparing a full submission.

    The paper is titled "A Platform-Based Model for Same-Day Prescription Delivery: Reducing Healthcare Delays Through Predictive Coordination." It proposes an AI-driven predictive coordination framework that applies machine learning and data-driven decision support to improve prescription delivery reliability, medication adherence, and healthcare system efficiency.

    Based on the special issue description, I believe it aligns with the application of AI and data science to improve healthcare systems and public health. I would appreciate your thoughts on whether this topic would be appropriate for consideration.

    Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.

    Best regards,

    Rujuta R. Dawkhar
